Pros

Great benefits for employees, perks at RTP campus, awesome colleagues (below director level)

Cons

There is no stability or room for growth. This most recent layoff is an indicator of how management is changing the culture of the company: secretive, sneaky and unhumane. It's no longer the NetApp that it used to be even 2 years ago. I hope it will go back to its glory, but my hopes are getting squashed a little more each day.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Pros

- Not the worst pay around - Opportunity for advancement if you get the right management - Good financial benefits (ESPP, 401k options, mega backdoor Roth) - The one thing GK is good at is driving up the company stock price. Hope you got yourself some RSUs

Cons

- NetApp hasn't made a new product in 10 years, so you'll be hard pressed to find development work that isn't directly tied to supporting what was built before then. - Very little innovation other than weekend-project-level AI tools - Health and dental benefits are not great - Upper management is completely detached from reality
